Police are continuing to appeal for information about a Fraserburgh family after they were reported missing yesterday.
Concerns were raised yesterday for Mark Hendry, 21, Daniela Do Vale Goncalves, 21, and their two children Mark Hendry Jnr, 15 months and two-month-old Chantelle Hendry.
The appeal is still in place despite a social media exchange between police and a Facebook account belonging Miss Goncalves earlier today, saying the family were just on holiday.
Sergeant Martin MacDougall said: “Inquiries were launched last night as the result of a well-intentioned and legitimate concern call made by a partner agency.
“As highlighted in our earlier appeals for information, whilst social media can be extremely useful in tracing missing people we have to be completely satisfied of the welfare of all those reported before we stand down our investigations, in particular when young children are involved.
“In the case of any missing person our ultimate aim is to ensure that those who have been reported missing have come to no harm when genuine concerns are raised.
“We are still in the process of officially confirming the exact location of the Hendry family with assistance from international counterparts and will provide an update as soon as we can.”
